What Is The Reason For Increased Weight After Thyroid Removal?
Hi, I had my thyroid removed 3 years ago (I weighed 150lbs) and am taking 175 Synthroid daily. I run 2 miles daily, workout twice a day, and drink 100 ounces of water a day. Please tell me what I'm doing wrong and weight 200lbs? I can't lose weight despite my effort. My TSH and T4 are normal every 6 months when they are checked.
